"Delilah"
Done this during my vacation!
I bought new colored pencils (despite having a ton of them) because I wanted to try them out. They're Faber-Castell Goldfaber. And Goldfaber is apparently for hobbyists, but I feel that it's kind of unfair to make that distinction because they feel rather nice. Sure, their quality is not Prismacolor (or maybe I'm just rusty), but I liked them. I was experimenting with colors and blending right here. It was an interesting shot. 
So... who is this, you may wonder? That's a good question. I'm building her up as I go. It's a character I created for a RP with a friend on Iwaku/Discord. I wasn't satisfied with face claims there were around (because they were AI), so I drew her. This is "Delilah". It's not her real name, it's a code name. She's a covert agent that deals with shady people. The story takes place in a futuristic, crime-ridden city called Starling. The metropolis is ran by supervillains, though there's a fair amount of them in jail too. The government decided to open a program called the Watchdogs, which they negotiate with inmates to become heroes/vigilantes of sorts to stop these supervillains and in exchange, they get pardoned or reduced sentences. Even those on death row can become Watchdogs if they choose to. But it's only because the program has gone awry. Many Watchdogs have either lost their lives due to villains or because they fled the program, which that could result in death.
That's where "Delilah" comes in. She's teaming up with a villain on death row that can create illusions and manipulate dreams. But don't worry, she's an insomniac and knows her heck.
The name comes from the Biblical character that betrayed Samson for the Philistines. She earned it for a reason. That's so far what I have for "Delilah", I don't know if I will draw her again. I did it just because I couldn't use Picrew at the time, and F AI.Sep 2, 2026

So is Delilah also a recruited supervillain? In either case, does she have any super powers? This sounds like a great premise for a game and for a story.
